Shallow Water Snorkeling and Dolphin Watching in Key West

About this experience

Avoid the crowded big boats. Trips on this Sailing Catamaran are 1/2 full maximum! Book with a 2 week cancelation policy from vender, and there’s weather refunds of course. Premium drinks & snacks included!

Enjoy a premium shallow snorkeling and dolphin-watching sailing excursion. Cruise on a roomy catamaran that books only to half their passenger limit for quality control.
Be ready to spot wild dolphins being WILD - hunting, playing, teaching their babies how to hunt, feed and socialize with their dolphin friends. Then to a shallow water snorkel stop at coral reefs, wrecks or the wildlife refuge - wherever the best conditions are from Mother Nature that day.

The spacious catamaran offers plenty of room to relax in comfortable seats, and on a soft trampoline sundeck forward. Feel the sea breeze in your hair, and enjoy light snacks and premium drinks, all while having fun sailing on the sparkling waters of Key West.
